Robotic Control Engineer (BE-CEM-MRO-2024-83-GRAP)
- Genf
- Befristet
- Vollzeit
Such systems require complex systems engineering to ensure their operation readiness, including aspects from motor configuration, electrical connections, battery status, network configuration, onboard computers, onboard software and the user interface.At CERN, robotic platforms are used regularly for inspection, maintenance and repair tasks. A new robot prototype has recently been built and it will be used to perform regular radiation protection surveys and punctual inspection and possibly repair tasks.As a Robotic Control Engineer, you will:
- Update the robot hardware;
- Increase the functionality to perform autonomous surveys along paths in unknown environments, as well as adaptive surveys of arm trajectories to follow complex shapes;
- Adapt the algorithms to other platforms in other accelerators at CERN
- Experience working with C++;
- Knowledge of motor drivers and configuration;
- Experience with mechatronics design;
- Knowledge of cameras and LIDAR acquisition;
- Theoretical understanding of common algorithms used for navigation e.g. SLAM Theoretical understanding of common algorithms used for path planning and trajectory generation;
- Experience with CI/CD tools such as Gitlab;
- Detail oriented and willing to be very hands on for building, testing, prototyping and operational settings;
- Fluent in English, the ability to work in French would be an advantage.
- A monthly stipend ranging between 6212 and 6828 Swiss Francs per month (net of tax).
- Coverage by CERN's comprehensive health scheme (for yourself, your spouse and children), and membership of the CERN Pension Fund.
- Depending on your individual circumstances: installation grant; family, child and infant allowances; payment of travel expenses at the beginning and end of contract.
- 30 days of paid leave per year.
- On-the-job and formal training at CERN as well as in-house language courses for English and/or French.
- You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
- You have a professional background in Mechatronics or Robotics Engineering (or a related field) and have either:
- a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
- or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
- You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.
